of_o the_o fantasticalness_n of_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a yet_o that_o the_o jesuit_n can_v not_o have_v better_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n the_o excess_n of_o that_o credit_n which_o they_o

in_o this_o as_o ill_a luck_n will_v have_v it_o the_o heresy_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o jansenius_n which_o they_o will_v universal_o establish_v be_v one_o of_o those_o impossible_a thing_n since_o to_o persuade_v the_o world_n of_o it_o they_o must_v of_o course_n change_v the_o common_a sense_n of_o man_n so_o as_o in_o spite_n of_o they_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o adversary_n must_v of_o

do_v not_o reproach_n with_o any_o particular_a heresy_n because_o they_o do_v simple_o question_v whether_o any_o such_o proposition_n be_v in_o a_o book_n or_o no._n m._n de_fw-fr alet_fw-la m._n de_fw-fr vence_n m._n de_fw-fr beauvais_n and_o m._n d'_fw-fr anger_n be_v clear_o promote_v all_o these_o proposition_n as_o certain_a and_o indubitable_a and_o you_o may_v find_v they_o all_o

jesuit_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n these_o father_n with_o all_o their_o credit_n can_v find_v five_o other_o bishop_n in_o france_n that_o dare_v formal_o to_o promote_v the_o proposition_n contrary_a to_o those_o which_o be_v maintain_v by_o these_o prelate_n they_o may_v find_v some_o that_o may_v speak_v of_o the_o conceal_a venom_n of_o the_o heresy_n of_o jansenism_n because_o they_o be_v word_n which_o signify_v nothing_o and_o which_o they_o willing_o yield_v to_o the_o strong_a party_n but_o they_o can_v never_o yet_o find_v any_o that_o dare_v affirm_v that_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o matter_n of_o right_o be_v thing_n inseparable_a and_o that_o there_o be_v ever_o any_o heresy_n without_o some_o particular_a dogm_n because_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a stop_n to_o common_a sense_n which_o hinder_v those_o who_o have_v never_o so_o little_a wit_n from_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o extravagance_n but_o you_o will_v say_v at_o least_o that_o the_o jesuit_n cause_n have_v all_o the_o advantage_n at_o rome_n because_o the_o brief_n be_v all_o in_o their_o favour_n but_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o sir_n it_o be_v true_a the_o calumny_n of_o the_o jesuit_n have_v render_v the_o divine_n odious_a there_o because_o they_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o unjust_a pretence_n of_o the_o roman_a court_n against_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o king_n and_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o bishop_n and_o therefore_o perhaps_o they_o be_v not_o displease_v at_o rome_n at_o the_o oppression_n which_o they_o suffer_v but_o since_o they_o have_v common_a sense_n at_o rome_n as_o well_o as_o at_o other_o place_n all_o that_o these_o divine_n maintain_v here_o be_v receive_v there_o and_o as_o well_o believe_v as_o in_o other_o place_n &_o indeed_o more_o general_o then_o in_o france_n itself_o because_o passion_n have_v not_o so_o much_o disturb_v their_o reason_n and_o their_o judgement_n i_o do_v not_o love_v to_o report_v thing_n without_o proof_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v allege_v one_o which_o be_v very_o decisive_a upon_o this_o particular_a viz._n that_o even_o the_o inquisition_n of_o rome_n have_v new_o &_o authentical_o approve_v all_o that_o those_o who_o they_o call_v jansenist_n have_v teach_v in_o france_n upon_o the_o question_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la &_o de_fw-la jure_fw-la which_o be_v so_o ridiculous_o oppose_v by_o the_o jesuit_n i_o conceive_v you_o will_v not_o require_v of_o i_o to_o show_v you_o that_o the_o inquisition_n have_v give_v this_o judgement_n in_o favour_n of_o they_o under_o the_o express_a name_n of_o jansenius_n and_o jansenist_n you_o know_v well_o enough_o what_o reason_n they_o have_v to_o hinder_v they_o from_o render_v they_o this_o exact_a justice_n but_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v satisfy_v that_o i_o show_v you_o wherein_o they_o have_v render_v it_o in_o a_o cause_n so_o like_o it_o that_o it_o differ_v only_o in_o the_o name_n and_o now_o judge_v whether_o i_o do_v not_o make_v it_o good_a what_o do_v these_o divine_n pretend_v there_o be_v say_v they_o a_o very_a wide_a difference_n between_o defend_v of_o condemn_a opinion_n and_o such_o as_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o catholic_n faith_n which_o they_o attribute_v to_o jansenius_n bishop_n of_o ypres_n and_o maintain_v that_o jansenius_n bishop_n of_o ypres_n have_v not_o teach_v those_o condemn_a opinion_n the_o first_o will_v be_v
